I am looking to introduce an agile method to my boss so that we could hopefully implement it at our work place. I've been doing a lot of research yet I can't find what makes it standout from other agile methods. I am thinking maybe it is the consistent meetings or is it the heavy reliance on artifacts? Please let me know. Thanks!
Look on wikipedia. The scrum agile method is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29
Here is another stackoverflow question that tells the difference between scrum and extreme programming (XP). Mountain Goat Software also goes into this.
